Anime Japan 2017: Production Materials Gallery
It’s been a few hours since this year’s installment of Japan’s biggest anime event Anime Japan ended. This exhibition of “everything about anime” featured a considerable number of booths displaying production materials, and so we decided to search twitter and other outlets to compile them into a single gallery. Enjoy!

Stuff like this is kind of an eye-opener for me, to how much work/talent goes behind anime production. Just wanted to say thank you for this
Great drawings from some great anime. I do have a small question about the coloring of the genga. I assume the coloring indicates the shading, but is there a industry standard to what each color means or does it differ in each production or by key animator?
no, there is no standard for what color youre using

Like in most cases they use blue for shadow, red for highlight-marking area that having different colors w/o linear… other more specified stuffs (likes shadow for dark hair color vs light hair color…) in the other hand are kinda based on which studio/main-team you are working with, but mainly only decided by a big team not individual (because having a bunch of different color codes for an episode or a series will really mess up the… Read more »
Since I was late and you already got a good answer about the standardized shadow/highlight/etc colors, I’d just like to add that the industry would be quite a mess otherwise. Since so much staff constantly flows from project to project, sometimes for just a few cuts, it would be a nightmare if all companies operated in fundamentally different ways. The same thing happens for the colors of the sheets themselves, there are certain standards (yellow for animation directors) but then there’s particularities (different tone of yellow, green or blue for chief animation directors).
This is really inspiring and a very informative post.Great work
Nice post this is
